We'll be live at Sixth & I in Washington on Mar. 6! Show tickets are here; tickets for pre-show cocktail hour here. Also, the Double X Gabfest is doing a live Valentine's Day show on Feb. 13 in Washington. Tickets.

On this week’s Slate Political Gabfest, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss Democratic and Republican prospects in the 2014 midterms, the truth behind the CBO’s estimate that some people will work fewer hours because of Obamacare, and the 10th anniversary of Facebook.

Here are some of the links and references mentioned during this week's show:

Obamacare will reduce employment by the equivalent of 2.5 million jobs by 2024, according to a report the Congressional Budget Office released Tuesday.

Many conservatives (and some news organizations) initially reported that the CBO had said Obamacare would kill 2.5 million jobs. That's a false reading.

Jonathan Chait proposed a thought experiment in New York Magazine: If we had universal health care and repealed it, forcing millions of Americans into the labor market, would we consider that job creation?

The CBO report is a reminder that a law with Obamacare's scale creates a lot of economic uncertainty, John writes.
